Abstract

Climbing perchAnabas testudineusis a freshwater fish that has economic value and has been cultivated in Indonesia. However, the fish farmers face problems with high-quality larvae supply because the breeding technology for this species is not well developed. Sperm and oocyte storage technology is important information in fish breeding. Therefore, this research aims to determine the best storage temperature using the dry storage method. Six levels of storage temperatures were tested in this study, namely: 29C (room temperature as a control), 8C, 4C, 0C, -4C, and -8C. The oocytes are stored at the treatment temperature for 120 minutes, where every 30 minutes the quality of the oocytes is analyzed based on fertilization and hatchability parameters. The results showed thatstorage temperature had a significant effect on fertility (P0.05) but had no significant effect on hatchability or the normality of larvae (P0.05). The highest percentage of fertility was obtained in treatment B (8C) at 30 minutes, with a value of 50.33%; this value was significantly different with other treatments. The highest hatchability percentage value was also obtained in treatment B (8C) at 30 minutes, with a value of 12%. This value was significantly different in treatments E (-4C) and F (-8C), but not significantly different with treatments A (29C), C (4C), and D (0C) (P 0.05). The directobservations on the normality of the hatched larvae showed that all larvae had a normal morphology. In general, fertility and hatchability rate decrease with decreasing temperatures. Therefore, it is concluded that climbing perch fish eggs stored using the dry method can only be stored for less than 30 minutes, where the recommended temperature was 8C.

Abstract

Gelatin is a commonly used ingredient in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. It is obtained through the hydrolysis process of collagen, the main protein found in animal connective tissues.Fish waste such as skin and bone are a promising source for gelatin, however the characteristics of gelatin can vary depending on its source.The purpose of this review is to compare the characteristics of gelatin from fish skin and bones, such as yield, gel strength, and viscosity. The research findings indicate significant differences in the characteristics of gelatin from different types of fish skin and bones. In this study, it was found that gelatin with the best characteristics was derived from the skin of mackerel fish, with a yield of 5.90%, viscosity of 7 cP, and gel strength of 328.57 g bloom. Meanwhile, gelatin from the bones of tilapia fish had a yield of 8.10%, viscosity of 5.85 cP, and gel strength of 376.21 g bloom.It was concluded that gelatin from various types of fish skin and bones had different characteristics, so the specific purpose of using the obtained gelatin had to be considered.

Abstract

Meretrix meretrixis one of the economical shellfish that has been exploited in Kendari Bay, Indonesia. Several studies have been done, but its growth pattern and condition index are not fully known. This study aims to determine its growth pattern and condition index at the Kambu River estuary, Kendari Bay. This research was conducted for 6 months from August 2021 to January 2022. Clams were collected using a rake, cleaned, and brought to the laboratory to be measured for length and weight using calipers and scales with an accuracy of 0.1 mm and 0.01g, respectively. Furthermore, the clam meat was dried using an oven and weighed. Data on growth and condition index were analyzed using simple regression and the Mann-Whitney test, respectively. The results showed that the growth of M. meretrix was in negative allometric conditions, with b values in males and females in the range of 2.20-3.00 and 1.86-2.73, respectively. The condition index of male and female clam ranged from 1.86-2.62 and 1.66-2.41, respectively, and differed significantly by month. The results of the Mann-Whitney test on clam showed that there was no significant difference between August-November and December-January. In conclusion, male and female clam had relatively different patterns based on the observation period, while the condition index was in the skinny and medium category

Abstract

Like gasoline is essential for a combustion engine,feed is indispensable for animals. Besides the main feed, a supplemental diet is essential, even indispensable, to help animals reach optimal production in the ruminant feeding and nutrition system. The main objective of this review was to summarize the research performed across the West Africa area on diet supplementation for African dwarf sheep. By examining some scientific articles published from 2010 to 2021, identified mainly from Scilit, Google Scholar, Elsevier, Springer Nature, PubMed, AJOL, and Scirp, we identified more than 43 feed supplements made from more than 96 local ingredients grouped into 54 agricultural and industrial by-products, seven minerals and vitamins, four fodders, and four binders and other ingredients such as enzymes. The nutritional content of most of those feed supplements based on their crude protein, crude fiber, ash, calcium, phosphorus, and gross energy contents meet recommended standards of NRC. The digestibility of the nutritional component of the feed supplement fluctuates from 20.90% (organic matter) to 94.85% (ether extract). They enabled a good average daily gain (37.03 g to 100 ga good feed conversion ratio (4.62 to 13.73). The review shows that it is possible to achieve acceptable zootechnical performance using feed supplements made with local ingredients available in each West African country.

Abstract

The use of medicinal plants is gaining popularity all over the world; hence there is a need to exploit various plants that could be of economic importance to animal. This study was conducted to investigate the utilization ofCentella asiaticaleaf meal (CALM) as feed additive in layers production. The study was carried out in two phases, the grower phase and layer phase. A total number of 150 birds were used at 10 birds per replicate of 3 replicates per treatments of a total of 5 treatments. The diets contained CALM at five levels of inclusion 0.0 % (control), 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.8% at grower and layer phases. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design layout. Hence, CALM showed potentials of being natural growth promoting additive. CALM used as additive at 0.2-0.8% inclusion level significantly increased (p0.05) final live weight, weight gain and improved feed conversion ratio at grower and layer phases. 0.6% inclusion of CALM increased packed cell volume (PCV) and haemoglobin (Hb) and 0.8% inclusion of CALM increased red blood cell (RBC) values at grower phase.At layer phase, 0.6% inclusion of CALM significantly increased (p0.05) PCV and RBC while 0.8% CALM significantly increased (p0.05) haemoglobin (Hb) value but there was significant reduction (p0.05) in total bacteria count (TBC) at the caecum and ileum of birds at grower and layer phases respectively.0.8% CALM inclusion resulted in significantly highest (p0.05) weight of eggs, hen day egg production at 4th, 8th and 12th week in lay. 0.6% inclusion of CALM significantly improved (p0.05) egg weight and yolk weight score at 12th weeks in lay. It can be concluded that the inclusion of CALM in the diets of Isa Brown birds, resulted in better blood profile, haematological and serum biochemical parameters, gut microbial population, egg production and quality of laying hens

Abstract

The problems of shrimp farming with semi-intensive systems are leftover feed, organic matter, and toxic compounds that can reduce water quality. Shrimp pond wastewater treatment can be done through several technologies, such as chemical, physical, and biological treatment. One of biological treatment that widely used for wastewater treatment is bioremediation. Bioremediation is a biological process that utilizes microorganisms to decompose waste in aquaculture ponds into compounds that are not harmful to aquatic biota. Therefore, this researchaims to determine the effect of effective microorganism-4 (EM4) in reducing ammonia compounds and BOD levels in shrimp pond wastewater. The research method used is a laboratory-scale experimental method. A total of6aquariums were used for 3 different treatments with two replications, control, adding EM4 2.5% and EM4 3% into 5 L of wastewater. Thewater quality parameters observed were dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, ammonia, and BOD. Theone-wayANOVA test was used in this study. The results showed that there was a decrease in ammonia and BOD levels. The highest reduction of ammonia was found in the treatment with the addition of EM4 2.5%.The decrease in BOD with the highest effectiveness was found in the control treatment (37.73%)with the initial BOD value 5.3to3.3. mg/l, which fulfilled the allowed maximum level ofstandard of Ministerial Decree No. KKP. KEP.28/MEN/2004 concerning General Guidelines for Shrimp Cultivation in Ponds. In conclusion, the small dosage addition of EM4 did not have a significant effect on decreasing levels of ammonia and BOD.

Abstract

Growing evidence of resistance ofStaphylococcus aureusto methicillin (MRSA) is worrying. Domestic pigs are potential asymptomatic carriers ofS.aureus, including strains resistant to methicillin, which poses a serious threat to meat consumers.This study was therefore aimed at assessing the prevalence ofmethicillin-resistantS. aureus(MRSA) in nasal swaps of selected pigs.This study investigated one hundred and fifty (150) nasal swabs of pigs from fifteen (15) selected pig farms (PGF) within Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, to assess their levels of exposure toS. aureusandMRSA carriage. Isolation, characterization, and identification of S. aureus and MRSA were done using Mannitol Salt Agar (Oxoid, UK) and Mannitol Salt Agar supplemented with 4g/ml oxacillin, respectively. Antibiotic susceptibility patterns were done using disc diffusion protocols, while presence of MRSA mecA genes was characterised using PCR.Thirty percent (30 %) of 150analyzed swabs were positive forS.aureus, of which 13 (28.9 %) contained MRSA. MRSA were found in nasal swabs of animals from 9different farms. All 13(100%) MRSA isolates contained the mecA gene and were resistant to penicillin, 5 (38.5 %) were resistant to vancomycin and were characterized by multidrug resistance. The results of this study show that 38.5 % of examined pigs were infected with MRSA posing a serious threat to humans.These findings highlight the significant threat posed by MRSA in pigs, raising concerns for human health and emphasizing the importance of effective surveillance and control measures in livestock production to mitigate the transmission of antibiotic-resistant pathogens to consumers. Therefore, it was concluded that the MRSA was detected in pig from 9 different farms, indicating a widespread distribution.
